Major pro-inflammatory cytokine.

Analyzed variants (SNPs)

rs16944 IL1B -511C-T Population frequency: 35.0% Chr. 2 : 113,311,182
Genotype Impact What it means
CC (Normal) Normal Lower IL-1beta production - a calmer baseline inflammatory tone. Maintain an anti-inflammatory diet (omega-3s, colourful produce).
CT (Carrier) Low impact Intermediate IL-1beta production - average inflammatory tendency. Favour omega-3s, olive oil and plenty of vegetables; limit ultra-processed foods.
TT (Variant) Moderate Higher IL-1beta production - greater tendency to inflammation. Prioritise anti-inflammatory foods (oily fish, turmeric, berries); limit sugar, refined carbs and processed meat.
